What is the Remove Background task?
Have you found the need to remove or update the background of a large number of pictures? For example, you're in human resources and you've got profile pictures of your department and you need these for their identity cards. But you would like to keep a consistent background for all identity cards, maybe with the company logo included..
Or you had a company event and you got lots of family pictures. And now you want to put one standard background behind the pictures.
Adobe's new Remove Background automation service allows you to handle such scenarios in an easy-to-use workflow. You're not required to install any software or software license. This is a free service. Just use your browser and change or remove the background of a large number of pictures in one go.
And remember, this is not a one-way workflow. If you want to things at any time, you've always got the option to go back.
